Trauma and PTSD Care

At Maudsley Health in Abu Dhabi, we understand that mental health challenges can affect anyone — regardless of age, background, or profession. Our adult psychiatry and psychology services provide compassionate, evidence-based care designed to help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, and other psychological difficulties. By combining world-class expertise from the UK’s South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust with local, culturally-sensitive treatment, we empower patients to regain balance, confidence, and quality of life. 

Understanding Adult Mental Health

Modern life places constant pressure on adults — from work stress and financial concerns to family responsibilities and societal expectations. These challenges, if left unaddressed, can lead to mental health issues such as:

Anxiety disorders including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Depression and bipolar disorder affecting mood, motivation, and daily functioning
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to past trauma or major life events
Adult ADHD leading to concentration, organisation, and impulsivity difficulties
Sleep problems, burnout, and adjustment disorders that reduce emotional resilience 

Recognising symptoms early and seeking support from trained professionals can prevent conditions from worsening and improve recovery outcomes. 

Psychiatry and Psychology: Working Together

Maudsley Health’s adult services in Abu Dhabi integrate the best of psychiatric medicine and psychological therapy to offer a truly holistic approach. 

– Psychiatrists assess biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to distress. They may prescribe medication if clinically indicated and monitor progress closely. 

– Clinical psychologists provide therapy to help patients understand and change unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotions, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. 

Our multidisciplinary team collaborates on each case to ensure continuity and personalised care. This partnership between psychiatry and psychology leads to stronger, longer-lasting recovery. 

Evidence-Based Treatment at Maudsley Health

Each patient begins with a comprehensive assessment, where our specialists review medical history, lifestyle factors, and personal goals. From there, an individualised treatment plan may include: 

– Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – proven effective for anxiety, depression, and OCD
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques to reduce stress and improve focus
Medication management, when appropriate, with careful monitoring for safety and efficacy
Couples or family therapy to improve communication and support systems
Lifestyle and wellbeing coaching focusing on sleep, nutrition, and physical health

We also offer telehealth sessions, ensuring continuity of care for busy professionals or patients who prefer the comfort of home.
